Well, and last colour, too…I took these photos before the heavy rain started falling yesterday and the winds drove pretty much the rest of the leaves from the trees. We’ve had a downright balmy autumn and it looks like after this chilly blip, we’re still going to see some fairly warm temperatures. I walked by an old poplar tree in the neighbourhood a couple of days ago and it was budding out with a whole new crop of leaves. And the grass is greening up again with all this new moisture yesterday. Interesting autumn, indeed.
